Carbery Group has maintained its milk price for September milk supplied at 54.22c/l excluding VAT, the same price it paid farmers for their July and August milk.

The September price includes a 0.5c/l somatic cell count (SCC) bonus.

Announcing its latest milk price on Tuesday, a spokesperson for Carbery said that dairy markets are expected to remain stable in the near term.

However, they noted that the business continues to monitor the impact that “current global economic challenges” are having on demand for dairy produce.
